Book your session

Nice to meet you! I am a family portrait photographer in sunny Southern California. I would love to do more than take your photograph. I want to capture your story. I want to give you something that reminds you of who you are in this moment, and the connection you and your loved ones share.

"Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”

 “Tara was so great to work with! She arrived on time, was able to corral our big group easily, had fun music playing to make everyone feel comfortable and relaxed and was able to capture the energy and personalities of my big crazy family in each of her photos. Our photos were edited and returned to us in a timely manner. I would recommend Tara to anyone who is looking for photos with a fun and natural feel.“

Very easy, affordable, professional and was very good with kids. She had great ideas and somehow she created a comfortable environment for the whole family which resulted in genuine joy in the photographs. Thanks Tara! We will need to update our family photos in a year or so and will be calling you!
